It's cool when done with permission, don't you think? Also, use a modicum of truth at least.

If you spent as much time on furthering your career in films as you do on spreading negativity about some girl you don't even know, you'd be making movies with Spielberg by now.

When will you come out of your cocoon?
No nads?
Very few jobs require their permission to say you work there.
I see a couple of blow-hard know-it alls in this thread who are wrong and wont admit it.
Mike mad a mistake and then just went off topic when it was pointed out to him. At the very least he could have apologized for besmirching this girl half-cocked.
Scott, don't know what you deal is.... You seem to think she needs permission to say she works on the Kidd Kraddick show. That is what she does for a job. It is not a lie. It is not an exaggeration. It is a fact. One she is entitled to share with others when talking about herself or promoting herself.
Some of you really are horribly bitter.
Although I do appreciate the deep irony of this thread.

Quoted for truth.

Some would argue just for argument's sake.

Scotty, can I be in your movie?? I'm not much of a name-dropper, though. Hey did I mention than i used to work with a guy who writes for Howard Stern?? He made George Takei famous again!! Oh my!!
HaHa, ButtnPushr. A lot of jocks, people in radio, filmmakers and crews have rubbed elbows as it were with a lot of names. That's the nature of the biz, though. That doesn't mean I have license to say, "Hey, I work for _______________". Anything ever placed on my resume has been with permission if required.
By the way, the same jealousies present in radio also exist in movies/TV. People hate on you for your success. I don't consider myself as having arrived yet but like to think my moment is within reach.

Wow, guy, it's just an opinion...all of it. I made as much of an apology as I plan to make on this subject. Good luck to the girl, but to me, that's sure setting a high expectation with potential clients...and I guess that's her problem to fill those large shoes she's created. Read the 'positions sought' section in Radio World magazine sometime...reads like the same exact thing. I didn't go off topic to avoid a thing. I thought I'd addressed how I felt already. How many posts do you ever see in this market about Bill Gardner?
Why am I wasting time explaining all of this?!?!?!?!?!? Sounds like I'm already low on your opinion scale anyway, no matter what I say.

Only if you leave the DFW area..unless you have already?
Mike, I don't know you personally. I do believe you were sincere and as far as I am concerned your opinion requires no apologies to anyone. There's a dichotomy between jealousy and professional ethics that some people are quite unable to discern or differentiate from. That's unfortunate.
Tom, I haven't left. Actually it is the reverse. I came to Texas from L.A. (I was a firefighter then) in 1989.
Dallas area film/TV has a lot of potential still. The problem as I see it with regard to the biz is threefold: 1. Too much talking and "get-togethers" and not enough doing. Myriads want to make a movie or be in one, but few actually do; and 2. the ironic antithesis also holds true. People are so jealous of others that they do not want to band together to make Dallas a viable market again; and 3. the state refuses to increase incentives that would lure TV series and filmmakers to come to Texas. Michingan and Lousiana have outstanding incentives and are reaping their respective rewards.
